Whether it’s to provide security, protection or privacy, interior and exterior doors are an important part to your home. Learn about the different types of doors to determine which is best for your home.

The reason you're having a hard time getting clear information is because there are hundreds of companies saying their window is the best. There are probably millions of different features you can choose to have for your windows and in price ranges from $169-$1200 (per double-hung window).

I've been in the business for 15 years and have seen many different window products from many different dealers and manufacturers. This all comes down to: "what's important for you and your home?" If you want a strong warranty from a company who has a full-time service department to give you piece of mind and service your windows should needs be, or are you looking at only those companies who offer true wood interior windows that you can paint or stain to match the home decor? Whatever is your hot-button, then that's where you want to start.

I would recommend you first choose how you want your new windows to look. Wood-interior with vinyl clad is only offered by certain companies, while there is a vinyl woodgrain finish to give you similar results without the maintenance. If you're only looking for a white interior and don't want the maintenance, a fiberglass or vinyl window would be the best choice from what is offered in the market today (vinyl will be less expensive - not necessarily cheaper quality). If you are going to change out a window to a french door and a door to a window, then you WILL NEED to find a contractor with some carpentry experience. Some companies will tell you upfront that they do not handle those sorts of remodeling projects due to the complexity and time it would take to get it complete.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to personally help you with your project as we work in the New England Area. However, if you wish to talk further, please feel free to email me at: sven@ritewindow.com and I'll be happy to let you know our prices for what we offer so you can compare and hopefully find a similar company to do the work for you near the Austin area.

For a broken window (or leaking seal in multi-pane unit), for a standard roughly 2x3 foot window, can run from low of about $75-125 for single pane to more like $200-300 range for triple pane, depending on construction and any special ultraviolet or heat reflective coatings. If a removeable window unit, of course cheaper to remove it and take to replacement glass place then have them come out, measure glass size, order glass unit, then come back to install.

If taking in yourself, commonly they can do single-pane in an hour or two, but count on a week or so typically for sealed double or triple pane unit to come in, so you will have to seal the opening in the interim. That is an advantage of having them come out - they measure and determine type of unit on first visit and can seal with tape and plastic sheeting (if you have not already done that), then come back with new unit and install a week or two down the road - but you are not stuck with an opening in the wall for a long time.

Door Installation reviews in Virginia Beach

provided a prompt estimate/design leading to their selection over several other contractors. Their estimate was not the cheapest(was close to lowest estimate) but my wife and I both agreed that

had the best idea of what we wanted, that their ideas were best suited to our vision. The contract clearly ...More listed what they would accomplish and properly defined what we (owner) were responsible for (listed what products and actions were our responsibility). There were no cost surprises or unexpected plus ups. CI Cabinets, (reviewed separately) sealed the deal by asking my wife how she cooked and continued working with my wife to accommodate her mobility issues in kitchen/cabinet design. Work started on time, proceeded as promised with no delays until the job was done. Two problems, (tile layout for the fireplace, a phone line was not reconnected) were corrected with 24 hours) to our full satisfaction. Unique ideas included:
- a Shelf over the TV to host the sound bar. Looks great-near invisible- great sound
- mobile kitchen island that is level with the upper oven and rolls to serve as needed. Wife love it.
- lighting in the kitchen and a room now provide bright, clear vision for old eyes.
- Built-in cabinets in the living room match the kitchen that add to the open space look.

was great. Courteous, professional, safe, clean, and finished on time. Rework was near none existent. Home build in 1987 is modernized to better than new condition and looks awesome. The recommendation to upgrade initial flooring to solid core bamboo and the kitchen design have resulted in positive comments from everyone who has seen them. The quality of the work was super and we feel blessed with the overall job. The value for the dollar was super considering the scope of work performed and the final costs were well within reach.
Our intent is to use

in the future and recommend

at every opportunity.

The provider visited me to see what I needed done. I had a whole list of things. He told me I would have to buy all the materials. I said I wasn't sure what to buy and he told me. When he got here he said everything I got was wrong. I am used to the

getting the materials he needs and submitting the receipts.
He said ...More we could reschedule as soon as he got here. We went ahead with the door, which took 2 hours to install with two men. He left the destroyed door frame in my yard, a pile of board with nails in them facing up. There were nails all over my garage. He was going to replace the hardware on some folding doors, but he said the doors were broken and I would have to buy new ones. I feel if he would have looked at them more closely on his initial visit,I could have bought the new doors and had them installed.
By this time I was out of patience and good humor and told him we should call it a day. He said okay and left.”

I am the second owner referenced in a review below posted on 11/4/2014 and was the primary person in charge of the remodel. I would like to add my review.

staff is very polite, professional, and conscientious. All employees displayed a great sense of humor and worked well as a cohesive team. Even my neighbors remarked ...More how professional

’s crew was and as a result, several have
hired

or consulted with him for additional work in their own homes. All permits are registered with City of Virginia Beach and all inspections performed have been passed.

has great ideas and suggestions for almost every aspect of the house- which gives his customers lots of choices and varying price points from which to choose. For example, he recommended the hallway linen closet be demo-ed so that the associated space could be used for the new master bathroom and it made all the difference. Suggestions like that show he has the experience needed to offer his clients an array of choices to improve their projects that otherwise would not have been considered.
The company consistently goes the extra step. For example, I needed a permit for work outside of what

was doing, and his assistant met me at the courthouse and walked me through the process even though

was
not doing that specific job. There were also some issues I experienced with my other contractor, outside of

Company.

very professionally relayed those to me so that I would be knowledgeable and able to intelligently address them. Even before starting on the house,

reached out to my neighbors to ensure they knew he would be working there which helped smooth the way for all the construction (i.e., noise, traffic, dumpsters). Another example of going the extra step: I bought two mirrors from Lowes and did not realize they were both chipped inside the packaging.

took them back and exchanged them for two good ones.
He does not mind handling the little details to make sure everything comes together nicely.

associates itself with great vendors i.e.,

from

’s Hardwood and Flooring,

(painter), Premier Plumbing, Mosiac Tile, and

from Pro-Build. All good people who offer top of the line craftsmanship. Where possible,

allowed me to work directly with his subcontractors which resulted in substantial cost savings.

also came to the rescue when my painter bailed which caused major schedule issues during the last several weeks of
construction. As far as the overall schedule, there were delays from both sides- owner and contractor.

did his best to catch up as well as deal with the significant delay my painter caused. Delays are expected in construction just like in any complex project,
and the ones I experienced did not have a major impact for me. In hindsight, I should have discussed the schedule
more to ensure we were on the same page- which is a responsibility of both parties.
The biggest challenge with my project was keeping track of all the change orders. As

made suggestions and
things evolved, there were many little details to track and changes made, albeit for the better. This did affect
the overall schedule, but worth it in the end as the house is amazing and I am very happy. The good news is that

and his crew were very flexible and rolled with all the changes which only served me as the client in the end. However, I do think this is an area where The

Company can really improve and get more organized in order to help their clients keep track of changes and associated costs. More communication concerning cost estimates and schedule changes is the one area I
thought could have been better.”

True professionals in all aspects! They came by and provided a quote timely, scheduled the work, the head installer came by the day before just to review the job, workers showed up on time (3 of them), they did the work showing care as not to make a huge mess/cleaned up as the went along and did the work was done with extreme craftsmanship. Total ...More cost was spot on for estimate. I can't say enough about the job they did. I had 3-4 other handymen look at the job and although they said they could do it I felt they were in way over there heads with the leak issue. NBS took the time to really look at it and do it right!”
